Yesterday at Peace Park we had spent some fun time with these children singing songs led by our wonderful team band, Ben there with the drum, Sean with the guitar. Later that evening, the band played at the worship service, while one of our team, Julio, gave the message so fine in both English and Spanish. Amazing to see and hear how Great our God is and works through us when our hearts are open. Today was our tourist day because one of our team members needs to leave on Monday and we wanted him to have this time with us.

After breakfast we went to Masaya, another city about an hour away by bus and visited a volcano museum, and tour with a guide into a bat cave, followed by lunch out and a trip to the marketplace to shop. The light rain in the morning did not deter this group from hiking up a volcano site and down into bat caves. We were blessed that there were not torrential downpours but a dry enough day to keep the temps down and the sun from burning any of us for which I am quite grateful. Please pray for us tonight as tomorrow afternoon we are having a Vacation Bible School for how many we do not know ; between 40-70 kids.

The Lord has brought this particular group of individuals together for this team and as the days unfold we have bonded nicely and it has been a joy to watch the the young adults meld together.

As you can see they are a fun and lively bunch. Two other young adults are here serving so all the more wonderful for our young adults to be encouraged by this experience and serve. Some have just come back as I write from driving around the neighborhood inviting children to VBS tomorrow.

More to come.

Blessings to all back home,

Cheryl
